SHELL is a Carolina rooted project built from records that were never originally intended to live together, but eventually aligned because they matched sonically and carried the same energy. The EP features YOPPA, LULU’S, BLK ROB, BINGO, BOY MEETS WORLD, and DIRTY CUP, with production from CMBeats Music, Dope Boi, and Zen On The Beats.
The album artwork captures the spirit of the project through a close up portrait of Masiah Wilson smiling wide, revealing a full set of diamond encrusted grills that shine across the frame. His beard and mustache frame the expression, giving the image a raw, confident, Carolina rooted feel. The artwork reflects the tone of SHELL itself, a mix of fearlessness, personality, and cultural identity that defines Masiah’s creative world.
YOPPA, LULU’S, and BOY MEETS WORLD were recorded at Black Magic Studios and engineered, mixed, and mastered by Labratz John Compton. BLK ROB was also recorded at Black Magic Studios, with its remix and mastering completed by JMEBrown under the management of Scummy JB. DIRTY CUP was recorded at Wash House Studios and engineered, mixed, and mastered by Marvyn Thibodeaux, also known as Smiley.
The project title SHELL comes from Charlotte slang used to describe someone who is brazen, fearless, or unconcerned with consequences, often in a way that feels overconfident or reckless. The music reflects that spirit, capturing the raw tone, regional identity, and creative world Masiah Wilson continues to build.
